"Why are you following me again? Aren't you afraid your boss will punish you?" Li Yang asked curiously as he saw her running over after turning around.
"Mr. Li, I am truly sorry. I actually believe you completely and know you are not lying. However, my boss is somewhat stubborn, and no one can persuade him. I apologize to you on his behalf," Li Feifei said frankly.
"I don't blame you, and it's not your fault today. You don't need to apologize. As for your boss, if he doesn't listen to my advice, he will have his own regrets to face," Li Yang stated confidently.
"Right, Mr. Li, there is no more evil energy in the company now, but is there any left on me? The incident I encountered yesterday was too strange, and I'm worried..."
"It's fine. I have eradicated the source, and you will be safe for now. However, it's best if you don't come to the company recently. After Zhou Jian'an's plan failed, he will definitely make new arrangements, and this time he will surely bring misfortune to everyone in your company."
Li Yang explained seriously to Li Feifei before bidding her farewell and leaving the stage play company.
Watching Li Yang's receding back, Li Feifei let out a long sigh in her heart, thinking to herself, "Boss, you are truly foolish. Mr. Li kindly helped you, yet you refused to listen. If greater losses occur later, it will be too late to mend."
She turned to look back at the company, not intending to discuss matters with her boss. Instead, she decided to heed Li Yang's advice and go into hiding for a while, taking her assistant on a business trip and staying in hotels daily.
"Hello, Old Zhou, what's up?"
Inside the company, Qiu Youcai had just returned to his office when he received a call from Zhou Jian'an, asking leisurely while crossing his legs.
"Director Qiu, I hope you are well. I heard something strange happened at your company yesterday? How is the investigation going? Is everything alright?" Zhou Jian'an asked weakly from the other end.
He had just been to the hospital to have the snake venom on his neck cleaned up, having barely managed to save his life.
He suddenly remembered that Qiu Youcai still held a secret he desired, so he called Qiu Youcai to inquire about the situation.
"Sigh, don't mention it. I don't know which scoundrel hid an evil object in my company. A young man came earlier and helped me resolve the evil object. I am now preparing to send people to investigate the culprit behind this."
"The appearance of that madman yesterday is related to this evil object today. Old Zhou, I can't talk to you anymore. I need to find more clues and catch the culprit as soon as possible," Qiu Youcai stated directly.
"Oh? Is that so? If you need my help, feel free to call me anytime. I will do my utmost to assist you in finding the true culprit," Zhou Jian'an said, feigning goodwill from the other end.
In reality, as soon as Zhou Jian'an hung up the phone, his face immediately turned sinister, and he clenched his fists, saying, "How detestable! I can't believe Qiu Youcai is so lucky that even the curse master couldn't kill him."
"Dad, if Qiu Youcai doesn't die, we can't get the Divine Dragon Jade we want. Do you have any other ways to deal with him?" Zhou Cai asked solemnly.
"Hmph, killing him is not difficult. The curse master failed this time. As long as Master Yimei personally intervenes, he will surely be annihilated," Zhou Jian'an said resolutely, a flash of inspiration quickly appearing in his mind. He said seriously, "We will soon have a good opportunity to deal with him. You go find that woman who resigned from Qiu Youcai's company."
"Let her expose clues and deliberately appear before Qiu Youcai. Since Qiu Youcai found that pendant, he will likely want to kill her upon seeing this woman."
"And we just need to hide the curse within this woman's body. When they meet, and Qiu Youcai attacks her, Qiu Youcai's entire company will be eroded by evil energy, and the disaster will be many times greater than before."
"Once Qiu Youcai is captured by us, he will have no choice but to reveal the whereabouts of the Divine Dragon Jade."
"That's a great idea, Dad, you are truly brilliant. Once we get the Divine Dragon Jade and the treasure within it, we will have three treasure maps, bringing us one step closer to finding that immense fortune." Zhou Cai said excitedly.
"Indeed, I originally planned to seize the item from Tang Xuejian first. But now, the allure of the Divine Dragon Jade is greater than that of the Tang family's. Moreover, to deal with the Tang family, we need to eliminate that brat Li Yang first."
"Once Li Yang is dead, not only will the Tang family be ours, but Tang Xiaoyao, whom you have been longing for, will be at your disposal," Zhou Jian'an said wickedly.
"Heh heh, not just Tang Xiaoyao. Dad, aren't you also coveting Tang Xuejian's body? Don't think I don't know. You were looking at Tang Xuejian's photos in the bathroom at home and doing some unspeakable things," Zhou Cai said with a grin.
"You... when did you see that?" Zhou Jian'an panicked inwardly, not expecting Zhou Cai to know his secret.
Zhou Cai shrugged and said, "We are father and son, and no one knows a father better than his son. Don't worry, I won't tell Mom about this. And once our plan succeeds, Tang Xiaoyao will be mine, and Tang Xuejian will be yours. We can have fun together."
"Good son, you are indeed my son, Zhou Jian'an!" Zhou Jian'an pointed at his nose, and the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Mr. Li, my family head requests your presence."
Just as Li Yang left the stage play company, he suddenly saw a car approaching and stopping in front of him. A middle-aged butler got out.
"Your family head is..." Li Yang asked, looking at the unfamiliar person before him.
"He is Xu Shenglong, President Xu," the butler said directly.
"So it's him. What does he want with me?" Li Yang had been thinking of finding President Xu to inquire about the Song family. Now that he knew the Song family was directly connected to the Wisteria of Sakura Country, he needed to find the Song family to clear out the Sakura Country traitors, starting with them. If the Wisteria could be dealt with, the curse masters would have no choice but to reveal themselves.
"Please accompany me to the Jade Association, Mr. Li. You will then understand the purpose." The butler did not clearly state the reason, fearing eavesdropping. Li Yang understood the implication and agreed, getting into the car with him.
Ten minutes later, Li Yang arrived at the entrance of the Jade Association. It was a secluded villa within the city, luxuriously decorated, appearing like a high-end official institution from the outside. After getting out of the car, the butler respectfully invited Li Yang into the villa.
As they entered, Xu Shenglong and over a dozen influential figures from the antique world appeared before Li Yang. Among them were several prominent figures Li Yang had met before. Seeing them all gathered there, as if discussing important matters, Li Yang felt a sense of anticipation.
